Smells great

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really love the packaging and the smell of the product. I feel like it was lightweight and it didn't affect any of my hair. I have breakage in my hair already, so I don't think that affected it at all absorbed right up into my hair. 

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The smell was great but that was about it. It made my hair texture feel dry and brittle and very hard to style. I have think hair so perhaps that is why. Hopefully it work for you.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
